Crossfiltering! This example demonstrates simple crossfiltering. The flow being:

  • The selectedData and hoverData properties of each graph get updated when their events get fired.
  • This data gets fed into a Filter component.
  • The output of the Filter component gets fed into the opposite graph.
  • There is a separate Filter component for each graph

Some things to note:

  • We could add another TextInput and another Filter item to further filter out the data
  • The select box clears on newPlot. We'll need a way to persist this box across newPlot calls

This example is a little bit more complicated:

  • There are a few custom components (in the example_components.react file): a Filter, Table, and a DataStore component
  • The Dropdown elements and the text Input element update the properties of the Filter component.
  • The output of the Filter component updates the secondary table and the chart (the orange dots).
  • Set the "animation=true" property of the graph to show some smooth transitions for fun.

To run these examples:

Step 1 - Build the bundle:

git clone https://github.com/plotly/dash-renderer.git
cd dash_renderer
npm run build-local 

I use a combination of ag and entr to rebuild automatically:

ag -l --js | entr npm run build-local

In a separate terminal, start a local file serving server. For example:

cd dash_renderer
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

then visit this server in your web browser (e.g. localhost:8000)

This appLayout object describes what the app looks like. Technically, it recursively generates the tree of react components.

dash_core_components and dash_html_components are loaded up in the index.html file. Here is the source for the dash_core_components: https://github.com/plotly/dash-core-components/tree/master/src/components

mapInputsToOutputs describes out properties of input components (as specified in the appLayout) map to a single property of a single output component. Updates happen reactively, so whenever an input changes, the output transform function gets called with those input properties and then the output property gets updated with that new value.

This transform uses a bit of JS, which can't be serialized as JSON. So, for this to work, we'd need to do one or more of the following:

  • Design better input and output properties of components so that they can easily be declaratively composed with each other.
  • Design a lightweight language for doing these types of operations (like we could just expose Ramda)

DataStore is super generic - you can pass whatever props in whatever form you want to it. In the examples it's being used to store columns={...} but it could be used to store anything. Unlike filter, the properties that you supply to it never change.

This example is a little bit more complicated:

  • There are a few custom components (in the example_components.react file): a Filter, Table, and a DataStore component
  • The Dropdown elements and the text Input element update the properties of the Filter component.
  • The output of the Filter component updates the secondary table and the chart (the orange dots).
  • Set the "animation=true" property of the graph to show some smooth transitions for fun.

To run these examples:

Step 1 - Build the bundle:

git clone https://github.com/plotly/dash-renderer.git
cd dash_renderer
npm run build-local 

I use a combination of ag and entr to rebuild automatically:

ag -l --js | entr npm run build-local

In a separate terminal, start a local file serving server. For example:

cd dash_renderer
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

then visit this server in your web browser (e.g. localhost:8000)

This transform uses a bit of JS, which can't be serialized as JSON. So, for this to work, we'd need to do one or more of the following:

  • Design better input and output properties of components so that they can easily be declaratively composed with each other.
  • Design a lightweight language for doing these types of operations (like we could just expose Ramda)

DataStore is super generic - you can pass whatever props in whatever form you want to it. In the examples it's being used to store columns={...} but it could be used to store anything. Unlike filter, the properties that you supply to it never change.

This transform uses a bit of JS, which can't be serialized as JSON. So, for this to work, we'd need to do one or more of the following:

  • Design better input and output properties of components so that they can easily be declaratively composed with each other.
  • Design a lightweight language for doing these types of operations (like we could just expose Ramda)

DataStore is super generic - you can pass whatever props in whatever form you want to it. In the examples it's being used to store columns={...} but it could be used to store anything. Unlike filter, the properties that you supply to it never change.

Crossfiltering! This example demonstrates simple crossfiltering. The flow being:

  • The selectedData and hoverData properties of each graph get updated when their events get fired.
  • This data gets fed into a Filter component.
  • The output of the Filter component gets fed into the opposite graph.
  • There is a separate Filter component for each graph

Some things to note:

  • We could add another TextInput and another Filter item to further filter out the data
  • The select box clears on newPlot. We'll need a way to persist this box across newPlot calls

This example is a little bit more complicated:

  • There are a few custom components (in the example_components.react file): a Filter, Table, and a DataStore component
  • The Dropdown elements and the text Input element update the properties of the Filter component.
  • The output of the Filter component updates the secondary table and the chart (the orange dots).
  • Set the "animation=true" property of the graph to show some smooth transitions for fun.

To run these examples:

Step 1 - Build the bundle:

git clone https://github.com/plotly/dash-renderer.git
cd dash_renderer
npm run build-local 

I use a combination of ag and entr to rebuild automatically:

ag -l --js | entr npm run build-local

In a separate terminal, start a local file serving server. For example:

cd dash_renderer
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

then visit this server in your web browser (e.g. localhost:8000)

To create a new example, just change this import. And make sure that the examples that you write export an appLayout and a mapInputsToOutputs object.

This appLayout object describes what the app looks like. Technically, it recursively generates the tree of react components.

dash_core_components and dash_html_components are loaded up in the index.html file. Here is the source for the dash_core_components: https://github.com/plotly/dash-core-components/tree/master/src/components

mapInputsToOutputs describes out properties of input components (as specified in the appLayout) map to a single property of a single output component. Updates happen reactively, so whenever an input changes, the output transform function gets called with those input properties and then the output property gets updated with that new value.
